The Beginning of a New Chapter

I arrived with my parents to CT tonight.  They surprised me with a trip to the Outer Banks for graduation... The trip was fun, we went to the beach, pool, wildlife refuge, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Wildlife Refuge, and a jeep ride where we were able to see Spanish mustangs by the coastline. Additionally, I got a new camera (with my graduation money), driving lessons, and a guitar... plus money and gift cards. I just now have to get settled into the after undergraduate life...

While at the beach, I forgot my glasses... for those who don't know, I have astigmatisms in both eyes (messes with my depth/visual perception) and I am nearsighted.  I was walking on the beach and managed to walk too far the other way, which is rare for me to lose track of where I am at... When I realized it, I was long past hungry, thirsty, and was a bit sunburnt - so I was a bit frustrated yet determined to get back to the condo although I could barely make out the buildings on the coastline. This was definitely a very familiar feeling to what my life has felt like and will continue to feel like - especially entering this new chapter of my life.  I definitely struggled with homesickness while there, but it is time for me to begin my life after college - and I will have the support of my parents and ability to learn more about them.

More blogs on different topics soon!
